background evaluation of the craniofacial bones is the oldest method to measure the facial proportion ratio in orthodontics. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emboss enhancement on the reliability of landmark identification in digital lateral cephalometric images. materials and methods ten digital lateral cephalograms were selected from the archive of an oral an...

Dental radiography is an essential component in the delivery of high-quality dental care for dogs and cats. During the 1980s veterinarians began taking radiographs of teeth using standard radiographic units; however, these units made patient positioning difficult and often resulted in suboptimal films. In the 1990s dental radiographic units became a more common part of the veterinary dental dia...

A Position Paper Subcommittee of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology (AAOMR) reviewed the literature since the original position statement on selection criteria for radiology in dental implantology, published in 2000. All current planar modalities, including intraoral, panoramic, and cephalometric, as well as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) are discussed, along with ra...

background identification of common technical errors during preparation of panoramic radiographs, how affect the quality and interpretation of the radiographs and the techniques used to deal with such errors, might help prevent unnecessary radiation to patients and save their time and money. objectives the current study aimed to identify common errors in the panoramic radiographs taken by post-...

background radiography is as a part of periodontal examination. early detection of periodontal disease is important in the prevention of tooth loss and patient’s general health. objectives the objective of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) with digital direct intraoral radiography, in assessment of periodontal osseous lesions. materials and me...
